the moisture. For this reason it is
important that salt and sugar or
molasses be used together and in the
proper proportions. Saltpeter has but
one purpose, than of retaining the red-
dish meat color; but, since it is not
healthful, I use it sparingly.
In my home the hams, shoulders and
bacon are sugar -cured, the fat -backs
are pickled, the trimmings are made
into lard and sausage, and the loins
and spareribs are eaten fresh and
canned by the cold -pack method. Many
folks prefer to give the fat -backs the
dry cure, but I find it requires the ex-
penditure of more time and effort than
when the pork is pickled. Moreover,
my family likes the particular flavor
of the pickled slices when dipped in
